Clean Water Sports Alliance NI
Seven of Northern Ireland’s water-based National Governing Bodies have come together to tackle the growing issue of polluted water in Northern Ireland.
Water-based activity is a major part of sport and recreation in Northern Ireland. The Clean Water Sports Alliance NI represents over 22,000 club members and 300,000 participants, and with six out of seven Olympic medals from NI athletes at Paris 2024 coming in water-based events, it is a crucial aspect of performance sport across the country.
The Alliance is currently made up of representatives from; Swim Ulster, Paddle NI, Rowing Ireland NI Branch, the Royal Yachting Association Northern Ireland, the Ulster Angling Federation, National Coarse Fishing Federation Ireland (NCFFI) and Triathlon Ireland. This united approach highlights the decisive action being taken by Governing Bodies across NI and is supported by the NI Sports Forum.
